    Why do links get reformatted?

    I posted my link in the Superloop referral thread and when inserting the link, I pasted the URL into the URL box and the text box. The forum software decided to override what was in the text box. I edited it, same thing again. Why? I added the URL as plain text inside QUOTE tags and, once...

    Why do thread subscription emails randomly stop?

    Why is it that thread subscription emails just randomly stop being sent? I have to come and manually check my Subscribed Threads page, visit the threads that I haven't been notified about, unfollow them, refollow them and then the notifications restart but for how long.... nobody knows!

    Woolworths MFA

    So, not only does Woolworths use an SMS for their MFA, instead of an authenticator app, the web site does not recognise input when using the number keypad on a full size keyboard so you have to use the number keys across the top. Small issue, I grant you, but geez that had me foxed for sometime...

    Penfolds Champagne - yes it really is Champagne

    Linky: Penfolds' new Champagnes make a sparkling debut. At $280 a bottle, it seems way overpriced. Like the vast majority of Penfolds offerings, you are paying for the name.

    WOW Rewards Redemption Setting

    A possible heads up for other members: I just added WOW Rewards card to Google Pay using the link in an email I received from WOW Rewards.

    Govia (now Linkt) surcharging for CC use

    Well, a big round of applause and hearfelt thanks goes to the RBA for encouraging Linkt (formerly Govia) to introduce credit and debit card surcharging for topups as of the 1st July. More proof that the RBA's pathetic tinkering around the edges of consumers being ripped off has done nothing...

    Take Amex page broken

    It looks like the Take Amex (Take Amex) page is broken. The google map and associated search box fail to load. I suspect this is a Google problem as they have been buggering around with various of their offerings. I wanted to report Debit Success for levying 4.4% for Amex (2.35% for Visa &...
